Curious Clocks.

When the Emperor Charles V. of
Spain retired to the monastery of st.
Yuste, he took with him Torriano, his
clockmaker, in order to while away the
time by constructing movements OF
clocks. So wonderful were some of
the pieces of work which they made
that the monks would not believe that
any one except the devil had hand in
them until the machinery was shown
to them by the ex-emperor. 1t was
ordered by Charles that when he should
die all these clocks should cease running
and it is said to be fact that his Or
ders were obeyed.
Another king of Spain came to Gen.
eva to see clock which had been made
by Droz, merchant Of that city. Up
Oh the clock were seated a shepherd, a
negro and dog. As the hour was
struck the shepherd played upon his
flute, and the dog played gently at his
feet But when the king reached forth
to touch an apple that hung from a
tree, under which SHEPPARD rested,
the dog flew at him and barked SO furi-
ously that live dog answered him, and
the whole party left ip haste. Ventur-
ing to return, one of the courlers asked
the negro in Spanish what time it was.
There was no reply, but when the ques.
ton was repeated in French an answer
was given. This frightened the cour-
Ter, who rejoined his companions, and
all of them voted that the clock was the
work of the evil one.
Upon the belfry OF the Kauthaus, in
Coblontz, there is the head Of a giant
bearded and helmeted with brass. The
giants head is known as "the man in
the custom house," and whenever a
countryman meets citizen of Coblentz
away from that place, instead of say
ing: How are all our friends in Co.
blentz!'' he asks; How is the man in
the custom-house?" At every stroke
of the bell which sounds the hour upon
the clock, the mouth of the giant opens
and shuts with great force, as if it were
trying to say In the words of Longfel-
low: Thine was--Time is-Time Is
past. Popular Science Monthly.

An Eleven Year-Old Deer
Shaver.

Mr.. G. g. Richards. of Ward No. g.
tells us Of an odd occurrence near his
home last week. He and others went
out for deer drive when the dogs got
up three and chased them SO close that
they jumped into his field. His little
son, Wychie, aged about eleven years,
was along. joined in the chase, running
his horse at breack-neck speed and pres
sing them SO closely that they attempt
ed to avoid him by jumping over three
logs lying close together. The largest
one succeeded in making the jump. but
the other two struck against the third
log and killed themselves, one Of them
being killed outright and the other
being dispatched by Master Wychie,
who dismounted and finished the one
which had only been stunned. We dare
say that this circumstance, coupled with
the grit and activity Of the little fellow
who performed the exploit has never
been equaled in this State. &C o!far

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

This subject is one of much impor-
lance. Cruelty TO animals is something

cruel and unkind to dumb beings is not
only sin, but is very unmanly. and
shows lack Of good judgment and
good common sense. Such people for
get that those animals belong to God,
and not to us, but that He has entrusted
them to our care for short time only,
and will one day require us to render
an account Of our stewardship. We
should be kind to both man and beast,
and not exercise our privilege SO much
rs do some people. We should have at
least some feeling for the lowest and
most degraded creature that treads the
earth.
Some people misuse their horses,
which are of great service to man; in
fact, it would be impossible for man, ut
this late day, to carry on his farm
work without the horse. Cattle, too,
are apother kind of stock which receives
more or less cruel treatment at limos.
